👉 The 3-Mile Secret in Baldwin County (Your GPS Is Lying)

Thinking about moving to Baldwin County and want to be “close to the beach”? Here’s the truth: that “15-minute drive” your GPS shows you… isn’t real. In this video, I break down what I call the “3-Mile Secret”—a small stretch of road in Foley, Alabama that completely changes your day-to-day life if you live near the coast. If you’re relocating to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or anywhere in Baldwin County, this is something most people don’t find out until after they move.
